    The monument, designed by Louis-Philippe Hébert, stands on the Place d'Armes. At the top is the statue of Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve, the founder and first governor of Montreal. At each corner of the column, four groups of statues represent key figures in the city's founding. Among them is Jeanne Mance, the first nurse in North America and founder of Montreal's first hospital. In 2012, she was officially recognized as a co-founder of Montreal alongside Maisonneuve.

    There's always something going on in this square: music, theater, and people-watching. Anyone who wants to can even go inside the basilica.

    The monument commemorates the city's founder, Paul Chomedey de Maisonneuve. The sculptor Louis-Philippe Hébert began work in 1892 and needed three years to complete the work. The bronze figures were cast by Thiébaut Frères in Paris. The monument was unveiled on July 1, 1895.
